Question by John Lemski: How do you pay taxes on a foreign forex account?
I have a forex account but the brokerage is in another country. Do I pay taxes or what? And if I do how do I go about doing that?
Best answer:
Answer by the tax lady
US citizens and resident aliens pay tax on worldwide icnome, so of course you do.
Unless this is classified as a 1256 contract, you report it on line 21, other income. 1256 goes to form 6781.
And, if the account had more than $ 10,000 in it at *any* time during 2009, don’t forget to file form TDF 90-22.1
